Obama congratulates Romney on “spirited campaign”

“I … want to say to Governor Romney congratulations on a spirited campaign. I know that his supporters are just as engaged and just as enthusiastic and working just as hard today,” Obama said as volunteers made phone calls encouraging supporters to get to the polls.

“We feel confident we’ve got the votes to win, but it’s going to depend ultimately on whether those votes turn out. And so I would encourage everybody on all sides just to make sure that you exercise this precious right that we have that people fought so hard for us to have.”

Before I had to to endure five full years of being called racist, “enemy,” a “blister” that needed to be “popped,” etc etc etc, all for daring to disagree with this president’s policies, I might have accepted this pseudo-graciousness.
